EVALUATION CRITERIA The IRP will assess a range of scenarios and sensitivities in order to develop a plan that is robust across a range of potential outcomes. Importantly, there must be a means for evaluating the scenarios and selecting a...

AI summary The IESO proposes using a scorecard to evaluate Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) scenarios, balancing least-cost objectives with sustainability goals from the MAEA. The scorecard incorporates stakeholder feedback and secondary metrics, with the highest-scoring plan selected as preferred. This approach marks Nova Scotia's first use of such a method for IRP selection.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of IESO Nova Scotia's first IRP are: - Develop a robust long-term electricity system plan that is reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective covering the next 20 to 30 years; - Evaluate the range of energy resource...

AI summary The objectives of IESO Nova Scotia's first Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) include developing a long-term, reliable, and cost-effective electricity system, evaluating energy resources (including non-electric options), identifying procurement needs, supporting sustainability goals, and calculating avoided costs for demand-side management.
